    Today we talkin’ Kicks!

    I hope you’ve been well and if not, remember that all that is not will be.

    This week on Thoughts for the Sole, I’m breaking down my favorite sneaker pick-ups of 2025 (so far), from surprise drops to long-awaited heat. It’s already been a strong year, and the best might still be ahead.

    I’m also sharing a powerful moment I had with the Adidas Cornerstone Community, a space created by 82. Purple and hosted by Lee Baron. The energy, the intention and the unity was all so amazing.

  • Sneaker History: Mike G.
    Apr 3 2025

    Today we talkin’ Kicks!

    Caught up with Mike G. from The Sneaker History Podcast, one of the historians in the game. We talked about when he first fell in love with kicks, those early days working at the shop (when the check went straight to kicks and rent), and how he feels about the current state of this game we love. We also got into what it has meant for me to rediscover and redefine my passion for this space. #PressPlay

  • Late Night with Union
    Feb 28 2025

    Today we talkin’ Kicks! The NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco was even more legendary off the court as it was on it. From top-tier brand activations to unforgettable connections, the energy was truly next level. Jordan Brand and Nike stole the show with an insane showcase including the leak of a future basketball shoe banger. This week on Thoughts for the Sole, we’re breaking down how my photos set the internet on fire and how Nike just setup an amazing year. Did you feel the energy? #PressPlay

  • 2025 in Kicks

    Today we talkin’ Kicks!
    In this episode of Thoughts for the Sole, I’m breaking down my early must-have sneakers for the year, pairs that are setting the tone and making plenty of waves in the sneaker space this year. Are these kicks worth the cop, or will we be looking at a resale disaster? #pressplay

    Today we talkin’ Kicks!
    Short and sweet. Today we are talking about all of the happenings from September and October in the LXNG world. Worked on my first major campaign(Nike) and then another one! I’ve been tremendously blessed. And then we dive into one of my most memorable pick ups from this year and what I’m looking forward to the rest of the way. Some how I forgot to mention the Mocha Jumpman Jacks but they are on the list too! #pressplay

  • Homecoming 2024: A Black Footwear Forum Experience
    Oct 4 2024

    Today we talkin’ BFF 2024!
    This week I dive into my transformative experience at the Black Footwear Forum by Pensole Lewis College and FDRA. I speak on my profound sense of belonging and the connection that I felt within a community of Black creatives and leaders. From the artists to the CEO's, this past weekend was a true testament to the power of community and the pursuit of dreams. Dr. D'Wayne Edwards' vision and dedication truly created a sacred space. #pressplay
